That's House of M --- an alternate universe. (Notice that Stark is allied with Roxxon in that cover.)

It doesn't count.

In 616, Crossbones has never been in the MoE. Lately, he's been recruited by the Thunderbolts, but the T-Bolts haven't been associated with the MoE for decades.

Okay, thanks for letting me know, because while I love the characters and still try to follow their stories when I can, I really haven't collected comics for a while so my knowledge of characters or what is considered in continuity can sometimes be incorrect or outdated.

The odds of the Masters of Evil being the villains of Avengers 2 just skyrocketed. There is no way Crossbones is appearing without his master, whoever that is. . . and if either Red Skull or Zemo is appearing, its almost certainly to lead a team of supervillains out for revenge.

Okay, so the radio host guy Matthew Aaron apparently upset Marvel when he said that Frank Grillo will be in other Cap movies and The Avengers sequel. After tweeting the following, he said on his radio show sadly that he was sorry to Marvel and his ("hopefully still") friend Frank Grillo.

I'm retracting any info I've given attaining to Marvel in the last two weeks. I'm not sure my source is that solid, anymore. I apologize.

I did not mean to mis-lead anyone. That was not my intention. I thought I had reliable inside information and to my credibility, I may not.

As a "journalist" (which I'm not), I still should have checked my sources better and confirmed things. However, Marvel is a tight-lipped...

Ship and would not confirmed anything if asked. So I apologize to @marvel and anyone else that was involved in my erroneous rumors. Sorry.

To CLARIFY. I have a source in Manhattan Beach and @marvel, however Frank Grillo never stated he was going to be in Avengers... my faulty

source did. I take complete blame for not covering my ass regarding my said source, he/she knows I'm taking a hit for this and I apologize.

I'd craft a better statement, but I'm not that good of a 140 character writer. Sorry to @Marvel and my friends at Marvel under a microscope.

Yeah, Crossbones showing up for TA2 didn't make much sense. Even from the MoE angle....everybody seems to be envisioning the MoE the same way they're envisioning the Avengers, as just an "all-star" team that'll recruit anybody and everybody with super powers. Truth of the matter is that the MoE has been very selective over the decades, and its roster contains a whole ****load of minor/forgotten villains that even die-hard comic book geeks wouldn't recognize.

Yeah. Idk though, I mean, maybe he still will appear? He didn't wxactly say he WONT appear in it. *shrugs*

Maybe....depends on how many films they've got Grillo signed for. Marvel Studios has a tendency to give multi-film contracts to everyone except Iron Man villains (who have a tendency to get killed in their debut; sorry, Mandarin).

I still kind of think he'll be in The Avengers. I think that's part of the reason Marvel were so upset with him. And that Matthew is pretty much trying to retract what he said to make Marvel happy. Of course, Marvel could just be upset about Grillo confirming he'll be in multiple movies.

Well, if the Red Skull truly isn't coming back then they might rework Crossbones as something of a fanatical successor. That, of course, would likely draw comparison's to Nolan's version of Bane taking over for Ra's (and it wouldn't help that the two characters look very similar). But that could be the direction they're headed.

Also, check out the trailer to Lay the Favorite. Grillo is in it briefly, and he's already looks JACKED.

I think Crossbones is a good personal villain for Cap so I wouldn't mind seeing him appear in at least another film. Hopefully they don't kill him off at the end of TWS so he can come back later causing trouble for Cap somehow.
